Arnold Hoyer Herr Im Frack 1950's Black Gypsy Jazz Archtop

Very cool 1950's vintage archtop jazz box. A lot of interesting features and a couple useful upgrades, like the period correct Framus pickup.  The pickguard is repro and has volume wheel under it, easy to reach but hardly visible.  The neck is large but a bit flat across the back, inproving the comfort.  It requires sturdy strings to pull the neck right as there is a slight back bow and no adjustable truss rod.  Fine with 11s or 12s.  The sound is huge, with a big band vibe or a bit Gypsy-ish!  Herr Im Frack means gentleman in tails, so this is a formal guitar ha!

The video is very informative, by Lawman Guitars from whom I bought it, and nothing has changed since then.  Original case with.
